John, My apologies - I did not express myself clearly in the first email. I would like to provide "GLOBAL FORWARD", not "ACTION NAME" in <html:form action="..."> field.
The real reason I am bringing this question up is the "Use Global Forwards for all entry points to applications" Struts pattern described by Ted Husted at http://husted.com/about/scaffolding/catalog.htm. I am trying to stick to that pattern and use only global forwards on my JSP pages. Am I on the right track? Can anyone share their preferred way of using forwards vs. actions on JSP pages and within actions themselves? >Maybe I misunderstood what you said... > >The action path specified in <html:form action=".."> is already a logical >path which is defined in <action path=".."> in the struts-config.xml. > >>According to documentation, <html:link href="..."> takes either a name >>of a global forward, an arbitrary href, or a context-rooted page URL.

I would love to specify a global action name as form action field. >>That way my JSP pages NEVER reference physical locations but logical >action names only. -- Fyodor Golos ResGen, Invitrogen Corporation 2130 Memorial Pkwy, SW Huntsville, AL 35801 Phone: 800-533-4363 Direct: 256-327-4297 Fax: 256-536-9016 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
